Now in ataXia there is, at some point
in the spinal column a hardening

This sclerosis results from degeneration

John Clinton Bray, son of Madison and

died at the residence of his parents in
Thomas County, July a2nd, 1887.
His funeral was preached by Father
Mckinney, from the appropriate words:
Suffer Little Children to Come Unto
Ne. and forbid them not for of such is
the Kingdom of Heaven" The parents
have the sympathy of their many friends
in their bereavement They desire the
writer to express their thanks to their
neighborS, who so kindly assisted them
in their affection And also to Mrs DIR.
Patterson, who rendered efficient medi-
cal aid, and whose services as a nurse
were untiring.
When to claim his own the Death Angel
was sent,

eyes toward heaven bent
As if to comfort the hearts of loved ones

Lisped these beautiful words: Zone step

Oh, then let us prepare to meet him and

Cannot reach his little head.
Sweet affection drops tear

Stands the little image fair.
Sparkling eyes and shining temples
Rosy cheeks and golden hair,
Tuby lips so full of smiling.
Neck and arms so soft and white,
Little feet so full of running

Money Matters.
Mr.. Augustus Peabody. VINO W.
connected with Mr.. Webster in the
business of his law Office in Boston,
used to relate that on one occasion Mr..
Webster had made all his preparations
for summer tour in his own carriage
with his wife, and had drawn the
money for his travelling expenses out
of the bank the day before his intended
departure. The next morning the New
York mail brought letter to Mr..
Webster enclosing check for fifteen
hundred dollars as a retainer in a great
land case to which MIR. Astor was one
of the parties This letter, with its
Enclosure, Mr.. Peabody took down to
Mr.. Webster's house, and found him
already seated in his carriage about to
take the road to Saratoga. He gave
him the letter. and asked him to in
dorse the check. But Webster put the
check in his pocket with the remark
that he might need it before he re-
turned, and so it turned ont. When
he came back to Boston the whole Of
the fifteen hundred dollars had been
spent. in addition to the money he had
previously drawn.
On another occasion Mr.. Webster
had invited some friends to dinner. A.
he left home in the morning he re-
quested his wife to send John down to
the Office about ten o'clock to 60 to
market with him. John came down
accordingly Mr.. Wsneter was busy
writing. He asked John if he had any
money. John replied in the negative.

also made purchase, and was about to
